Agree, though his pedigree is slightly better than RM's was when he came. | ![](/images/avatars/8863.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I'm the eternal optimist mate and I really hope things get better starting today. But one thing for sure is Duff won't get 2 years grace. | ![](/images/avatars/9155.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Forgot cullen was on the pitch, I like the guy but he brings absolutely nothing to our gameplan. Whereas lola the Ukrainian looks good. | ![](/images/avatars/22251.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Preston probably don’t do much to win any week. A bog standard, workman like team who held us at arms length fairly easily once they went ahead. First half I was wondering how they’ve started the season so well. They probably just grind out results in uneventful games. Yes Darling is a worry. I don’t know if he switched off or just lost his bearings for that first goal, but he does it too often. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

This is what they are like. Every time we play them they get a goal ahead, thry just invite us on and defend stoutly. Today we went ahead and I thought we would do them but we took our foot off the pedal and let them back in, duff reluctance to make subs earlier helped. I do hope that he has learnt and we get a bit of pace in the next few days 🙏 | ![](/images/avatars/22251.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

You could tell they do it often by how easily they did it. They just shut us down. Yes, I thought we’d coast to a win as well as they didn’t look to have any creativity in them. I’ve thought that and been wrong many times before mind. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
Duff MOTM on 21:47 - Aug 26 with 1441 views | sw02sea | Have to admit, i was being a bit facetious when I started this thread, having seen all his previous games in charge. The thought of him achieving manager of the month wasn’t the first thing on my mind. In all fairness, a new manager with new players and a new way of playing, is obviously going to take time to bed in. But up till now, I’ve been seriously underwhelmed. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
Duff MOTM on 07:39 - Aug 27 with 1267 views | SullutaCreturned | Chopping and changing managers doesn't work either mind. A bit of atience is needed. In the previous 2 years we had people defending Martin when we were much further down the line yet here we are? I still choose to give it 10 games and then look closer. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I agree with giving him time. The window closes in a couple of days then we have the international break so it will be October before there is any form of normality. But there seems to be no indication of what he is trying to do and he seemed tactically out thought yesterday when they changed formation. Im just hoping things click and quickly because I wouldn't like to be stranded at the bottom in a month's time. Duff certainly won't get the time Martin had. | ![](/images/avatars/9155.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I agree, he won't get the time Martin had. Even as the players are learning what Duff wants, Duff is learning about them too. he was too slwo with the subs AND I thought Kuharevich needed to be on sooner because we couldn't match their physicaity in defence, hopefully he'll improve. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
